Gigabyte announced its newest socket FM2 motherboard, the F2A85X-D3H. Built in the ATX form-factor, and as a pleasant surprise, with a black PCB, the F2A85X-D3H is based on AMD A85X chipset. The APU socket is powered by a simple 4+2 phase VRM, which has been featured on several of the company's micro-ATX models. The APU is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots, supporting up to 64 GB of dual-channel DDR3-1866 MHz memory; and a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slot. Other expansion slots include a PCI-Express 2.0 x4 (physical x16, wired to the A85X FCH), three PCI-Express 2.0 x1, and two legacy PCI.

The F2A85X-D3H is built with Gigabyte's Ultra Durable 4 Classic construction. In addition to the CPU fan header, there are three 4-pin PWM fan headers. The board is driven by AMI Aptio UEFI BIOS, with Gigabyte's dual-UEFI feature that protects against bad BIOS updates, and 3D UEFI setup program. Out on the market soon, the Gigabyte F2A85X-D3H is expected to be priced around US $100.
